Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
The destination MAC address when packets are forwarded from the primary FortiGate to the secondary FortiGate is the secondary virtual MAC port1. This is because the primary FortiGate uses the virtual MAC address of the secondary FortiGate as the destination MAC address for the SYN packet. The virtual MAC address is derived from the HA group ID and the interface ID, and it is unique for each HA cluster member and interface. The virtual MAC address enables the secondary FortiGate to receive the SYN packet without ARP resolution.
